I was super delighted and honored to participate in the Sounds of America series to talk about @c418.org's original Minecraft soundtrack, alongside C418 himself as well as @keefstuart.bsky.social (whose personal anecdote really touched me!) The piece is replayable here: the1a.org/segments/the...

By the way, my take on this is that if you don’t know where to start, seek out local DSA, NAACP, and Black Lives Matter chapters. They might not be the right home for you, but they give you an opportunity to meet people and start figuring things out.

I want people to stop posting vague advice like “build community” A lot of people don’t know how to start. Post practical things like “here’s a list of mutual aid groups to connect with” or something

Alright, #musicology hivemind - anyone fancy a syllabus prep session or two? After this semester, I'm wanting to carefully rethink assignments and scaffolding, and it'd be nice to have a group of like-minded people to bounce ideas off of. Any takers?
